Sudeep Bhattacharjee, managing director at Manroland India, said, “Today, we are here to talk about digital. We would like to have our product in front of you along with Kodak. Kodak will be talking about the print engine and we will talk about the finishing segment.”

Independent publishing consultant Subhasis Ganguli, said, “We are here to understand the customer requirement. This is to establish the digital market and to re-emphasise that digital printing is not here to compete with the offset.”
